    We arrived early enough to stop at the bar and order a bottle of wine to share, and were able to take it to the table for dinner. Reservations for dinner at 6:15, seated as such, in the upper level in a corner. It appeared that the hostess/maitre'd forgot to tell the server about us being in her area, so besides a busser that gave us water upon sitting down, no one checked on us for over 30 minutes. The staff realized the error on their own without input from us, and server (who was clearly not at fault in the least) not only offered us a free app of our choice to make up for it, but the bartender came all the way upstairs and provided us a $25 gift card to use upon our next visit near the end of the meal. They went above and beyond to make it right, again with no complaints from either of us at any point. Food was fantastic, had a hard time choosing just one entree.

    One of our friends is unable to navigate stairs well and we were seated on the top floor of the building. I asked if we could have a table on the main level and was told no, they were all full. That was not an acceptable answer. She had to struggle up the stairs with my help and was in pain. When reservations are made, there should be a way to ask if there are any people who have issues with stairs.
